You also get to break the casters off very quickly, and revert to lugging the 3 tonne jack up and down the cellar steps to the car. I was only lifting an Avenger or 1300 Morris with it..... I didn't expect to get much use of my Ryobi cordless angle grinder, but it gets used for most jobs now. The 5 A/H battery makes a big difference. On the subject of angle grinders, they should come with THESE |

While I was very impressed with their customer service, they sent me a new one within a week of contacting them, the replacement lasted half a day. |

I'll give some praise for the Ryobi stuff. I have bought alot of their stuff over the last year or so. Its not tradesman quality, but I'm not a tradesman who uses tools 8 hours a day I bought a couple of cheap 5.5AH batterys non branded on a deal (Take the capacity with a grain of salt) and they work just as well as my branded 2AH battery and last longer. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07MX7ZPXR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1I often use the non branded batterys for my Drill and Light bar, but keep the branded one for more tough jobs with the grinder and impact. Means i can buy a new tool with just the base, and use my existing batterys They do a bit of a deal during holidays. buy a starter kit and you can apply online for a free base tool. Pretty good value if you ask me. |

I've had it for six years, the drill close on ten, and an impact wrench for eight. They're all still good. I also bough a bag full of well-used tools at the Swapmeet a while back, which added a circular saw, another drill, right angle drill and a lamp. Well worth £40, although the NiCad batteries were shot. I still need to get a jigsaw. |

I think there's a lot of snobbery over tools, particularly for those only needing them for light duties rather than heavy duty/daily professional use. Whilst some premium brand stuff is without doubt head and shoulders above the cheap stuff, some of the 'big name' kit is little better than the budget or no name stuff you get in Aldi etc and doesn't stand up to much in the way of punishment at all.

I'm all for value for money over paying for a name, but the multi tool only lasted a couple of hours, and that was with plenty of breaks to prevent it from over heating. As I needed a multi tool to finish the job I immediately went and bought a cheap macallister one from screw fix for half the price that is still going strong.
I'm glad Mr Wheeler has good experiences with their other tools, and as I said I was impressed with Ryobis customer care and warranty promise, but I won't buy one of their multi tools again.

I've had a set of the Ryobi 18v One+ cordless tools for 6+ years and despite beating the living $&it out of them, I've replaced only the batteries. The mini circular saw is probably needing bearings soon, but what I've put them through, I'm not surprised.
That said, my father has a Ryobi 18v right angle drill from that range and has nothing but problems with the chuck stripping. I blame him.

I’ve had some pretty good crimping pliers, to do network cables and suchlike, and for under a fiver posted they’re astonishing. I doubt they’d last more than a few weeks of constant use, but for the occasional plug they’re perfect.

My worst worry about dying is my wife selling my stuff for what I told her it cost...
